Chapter 42 Murder Under the Cover of Night

Although Shen Bailian's acting skills were clumsy, they were more than enough to fool these unintelligent jungle wolf soldiers.

"Is it already that far back?"

Shen Bailian glanced at the ranking data displayed on his smart bracelet and frowned slightly. He currently had 15 points. Among the previous eleven jungle wolves, one was a level 2 ferocious beast with 3 points.

However, despite scoring 15 points, his ranking dropped instead of improving, falling from tenth to thirtieth place.

Oh no, just a moment ago, he dropped to thirty-second place.

However, things might change after tonight.

Shen Bailian was about to give chase, but when he saw the pebbles at his feet, he hesitated for a moment, turned back, squatted down, picked up more than ten pebbles and put them in his backpack, and then followed the trail of blood.

On a small plain more than ten kilometers away from Shen Bailian~
boom!
Xiao Yan's heavy black iron sword crashed to the ground, creating a deep crater.

Before him were dozens of evolved beasts, each about half a meter long, resembling enlarged grasshoppers. Although their strength was only about the same as that of a normal person with level 1 physical attributes, their large numbers and ability to glide made them extremely difficult to deal with.

"What bad luck."

After Xiao Yan calmed his breathing, he looked at the limbs scattered all over the ground, but there was nothing edible.

He landed on a small hillside where the only food available was wild fruit. So he thought he would go out for a snack at sunset, but instead of finding food, he encountered these evolved beasts.

Now look what happened, we didn't get anything and even wasted a lot of energy.

"Let's search for another hour. If all else fails, we'll go back and eat wild fruit while waiting for the supply point to respawn."

Xiao Yan glanced at the red glow on the horizon, then slung his Xuan Tie Heavy Sword over his shoulder and headed in another direction. For someone like him, supply points not only provided supplies but also earned points.

However, it depends on luck. If the supply point is too far away, it's not worth it, because the stamina consumed running in the mountains is completely different from running in the city.

In the silent mountain forest, a man and a woman stood facing each other, and beside them lay a giant python, its flesh mangled and bloody.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and slender, wearing a tight-fitting training uniform. Her hair was as black as ink, fluttering gently in the breeze. Her fair face was delicate yet powerful, with deep and bright eyes, a heroic air between her brows, a high nose bridge, and tightly closed red lips. Her well-defined features gave her a capable and efficient appearance.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing was that what she was holding in her hand was a halberd that was 2.2 meters tall.

Li Hongling raised her eyes and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Let's talk about cooperation." The young man, dressed in a black martial arts uniform, with a well-proportioned figure and a cyan longsword hanging at his waist, revealed a fox-like smile. "If we cooperate, apart from Xia Youhui and his few companions, we can do whatever we want in this Sanqing Mountain."

"Oh?" Li Hongling smiled brightly and planted the halberd into the ground. "Okay, we can cooperate."

Huang Xu's face lit up with joy, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected the other party to agree so readily, and he was just about to speak.

"The profits will be split 20/80, I get 80% and you get 20%."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xu's expression instantly became uncertain. After the two teamed up, their earnings were already only 90% of what they used to be, and now Li Hongling was making outrageous demands, wanting to take 80% of it.
Doesn't this turn him into a beggar?
"Isn't this a bit too much? A 40/60 split is my bottom line. If you give me 60% and I give you 40%, wouldn't that be..."

The words "How wonderful!" were not even uttered.

Li Hongling's face turned cold, her eyes narrowed like almonds, and the giant halberd standing beside her crashed down with a thunderous roar, pushing aside the surrounding air as it slammed into Huang Xu's face.

Huang Xu's pupils contracted, his scalp tingled, and he felt a strong wind rushing towards him, almost squeezing out the little air left in his chest. However, his reaction was equally swift, and he fiercely met the attack with a cyan longsword that drew an arc.

Clang. A crisp sound of collision rang out, and a strong wind scattered, rustling the leaves of the surrounding trees.

Tatata!
Huang Xu used the impact to fly out, his body agile. Although he swayed slightly when he landed, he landed steadily on the ground.

"you"

He glared angrily at the other person, completely unexpected that the other person would disregard their friendship and attack so ruthlessly.

"With your abilities, you think you're qualified to talk to me about a 40/60 split?"

Li Hongling glanced at Huang Xu with disdain, her eyes filled with sarcasm.

She certainly has the right to say that; her physical fitness level has reached 5.4, ranking eighth in Bozhou No. 1 Middle School.

And Huang Xu?
Ranked eighteenth.

If she could steal points from the opponent by taking action now, she would have already beaten Huang Xu down.

"it is good."

Huang Xu's face instantly turned ashen, and his hand gripping the cyan longsword had already turned white. He took a deep breath, suppressing his inner rage, and lowered his eyes. "I hope you won't regret this."

After uttering a harsh but harmless remark, he turned and walked into the jungle.

"Chi~"

Li Hongling watched the other person's disappearing figure, snorted coldly, and after using her giant halberd to lift the giant python, she walked towards the temporary encampment.
A full moon, like a disc, hung in the sky, its light as clear as water. Its cool glow bathed Mount Sanqing, as if shrouding it in a hazy veil. The leaves rustled gently in the breeze.
Sudden.

call out!
With a sharp screech piercing the air, a bright firework exploded in the sky, illuminating the dim woodland.

"Roar!"

Kong Yunxing stood pale-faced inside the electromagnetic shield, looking at the ferocious beast outside that was five meters long and nearly two meters tall, covered in thick black fur, and looked extremely ferocious. He couldn't help but swallow hard in fear.

The ferocious beast roared angrily. Even though its teeth were as sharp as daggers, they were no match for the hard electromagnetic shield. After circling for a while, it finally had no choice but to leave.

"Whoo~"

Kong Yunxing let out a long sigh of relief, simply tore off a piece of her underwear to bandage the wound on her arm, and slumped to the ground.

In less than ten seconds~
He suddenly felt a huge shadow looming over his head. Looking up, he saw a massive ground effect vehicle slowly emerging from its cloaked state, accompanied by a beam of light.

Kong Yunxing felt his body involuntarily begin to rise, and after a moment, the jungle returned to tranquility.

Beneath the calm of the night, danger lurks everywhere; the strong live, the weak die.

Compared to the jungle during the day, the jungle at night is the most terrifying experience for all the trial participants. It's not even midnight yet, and more than a dozen signal flares have already been exploding continuously in the sky.

Shen Bailian stood atop a towering tree, quietly watching a dark cloud in the sky.

He is waiting.

Suddenly, at the very moment the full moon and the dark clouds overlapped.
